Club Rules Governing Captains During League Play

USTA Regular League Season 2012

Mandatory Captain’s Meeting

Monday 21^st November 6:45pm, 2011

Upstairs @ Irvington Club

Club Rules

1. Captains are encouraged to recruit and assemble “wish list” rosters. After the Member’s Interest Sheet in hallway is taken down on 12/31/2011 rosters will be finalized by the TD (Tennis Director).
2. Captains do not have the power to say no to a member who wants to play on their team.
3. Captains do not have to play individuals on their roster. This is the captain’s choice.
4. USTA Teams are formed at level.
5. Members can play up if they choose at their own risk of possibly not being played in lineups by the captain.
6. If a captain wants to add an individual off the waitlist/non-member to their team this has to be approved by the TD (Tennis Director-Walter Seidel) before this individual registers online. Please refer to club policy governing our USTA league play out of Irvington.
7. All captain’s rosters have to be finalized and approved by the TD before members are notified on what team they are on. Once given the stamp of approval rosters will be posted in club hallway and on the club website.
8. Two or more teams at the same level have to meet in person with the TD to approve and finalize rosters. All captains have to be present for this meeting to be considered official. The TD will not place members on teams, just advice and help make sure enough singles players are on each team and the size of the teams are reasonable in comparison to each other. All captains at same level and TD have to come to a decision together.
9. The TD will email all Team Commitment Forms to the League Coordinator. Any additional teams have to go through TD first.
10. There is a Member’s Interest Sheet posted in the hallway. When the 2011 year-end ratings come out at the end of November it will be posted in hallway to help members know their updated rating for this league. Members are encouraged to sign-up, but not necessary. It does, however, guarantee getting on a team. So worth doing so. TD checks this and makes sure everybody is accounted for.
11. A day or two before the 11/21/2011 meeting all team captains are finalized and published online and posted in hallway showing captain’s names and level of teams.
12. Member’s Interest Sheet deadline is 12/31/2011. After this deadline members might not get on a team.
13. Matches begin 2/17/2012 and run through June 10^th. Playoffs June 14^th-17^th 2012. Sectionals August 10^th-12^th, 2012. Nationals Fall 2012 (TBD)
